Nacon Pro Compact Review: Streamlined and small but packing some seriously swanky features

French Publisher & gaming accessories seller Nacon, have been known for creating high-quality and affordable controllers and accessories for Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

The Nacon Pro Compact, as the name suggests, is a smaller version of their Revolution Pro X controller which came out Nov 2022 and as expected, it shares some of the same features.

It is compatible with Xbox Series X and S and One as well as PC making it very versatile if you like to game on both systems.

It is a wired controller meaning you won’t have to worry about batteries and latency time won’t be an issue at all, however, this limits your positioning being tethered to a machine, which won’t bother most old-school gamers and the cable is long, but it is less convenient.

Buttons were thankfully slightly oversized, making them easier to hit (Nacon)

The Pro Compact is available in five colours red, white, blue, black, and turquoise as well as two patterns, Urban Camo and Forest Camo. I tried the urban camo version which looks fantastic and felt great for playing military shooters like COD.

While it is slightly smaller than a standard Xbox controller it’s by no means as smallest on the market or the smallest I’ve used, that honour goes to the 8bitdo SN30 Pro.

At 6.06 x 3.8 x 1.88 inches, it’s still sleek and weighs only 208g, so it’s incredibly light, so you won’t have your arms getting tired in any long gaming sessions. It’s also easy to carry with you but that lightness does make it feel cheap.
